1951-52 registration (40BA75-59BA99) I believe. Centurion, without any certain identification? Some were allocated specifically for training purposes? |

DSL you know the Centurion is credited for the survival of Israel ??? because it had one major advantage over the soviet tanks this pic shows why, it could lower the gun very low which alowed it to stay covered behind some desert dunes and fire while the tank could stay protected behind the sand the soviet tanks did not have as low gun elevation ![[Image: 220px-israeli_tank_battles_egyptian_forces_in_the_sinai_desert_-_flickr_-_israel_defense_forces.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/220px-israeli_tank_battles_egyptian_forces_in_the_sinai_desert_-_flickr_-_israel_defense_forces.jpg) and israeli designation was "Sho't" -- Last edit: 2017-01-25 20:26:48 |

UK tank design finally got their shit together at the end of WW2 starting with the Centurion... well they still had some real stinkers like the FV214 Conqueror.... see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZLLPGWn5M but overall the following Chieftain, Challenger, Challenger II can be described as success -- Last edit: 2017-01-25 20:31:52 |

Glad that this fact has finally been recognised. The improvement resulted from the change of emphasis from the user designing the vehicles to the user specifying his requirements and letting the industry do the design. I also have to say don't forget the Warrior, and also the lighter vehicles from Alvis, which have given excellent performance to their operators for many years. -- Last edit: 2017-01-25 23:34:37 |
